Here's the story of Weekend #1 with the local Catholic Diocese (a region) and their strategic planning process.
Very interesting, Lisa. I would never believe that this was possible within the Catholic Institution... But probably American Catholics are different from the ones I know in Portugal and Spain - after all it was in Spain and Portugal that the Inquisition was invented, an that was a terribly eficient way to "close the space"... And it seems that the Catholic Diocese of Sant Jose will soon became another model for the Open Space Organization. Very interesting, indeed. One question: shouldn't critical issue #4 (the organizational one) be also a heading for some of the 500 (!) "recommended strategies"? And a final observation: even if you were describing a very spirited event, I think that you have never used the word "Spirit". But you have used "breath" a lot. I think that it has been written that one shall not use the name of God in vain. Maybe the same should also be said about Spirit - especially has the word is more and more used in marketing materials, and even comercials. So I wonder if "breath", after all, is not the word that should be used instead... Regards Artur PS: I remember that others in this list have opened space for other religious congregations. Have any of those had similar situations in relation with prayers in other Christian settings (other than Catholic, I mean)? * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected], Visit: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html
